Thread: Suspension air compressor

Check if you still have the tank as well.

I've refitted 2 d2s with air suspension, well worth it, in all honesty though the compressor is likely shot, either that or the airbags were leaking so they turfed them, which probably means again, that the compressor is shot, the main concern if it is ok, is making sue that the system is dust free if pipes have been left unhooked, you can rebuild the compressor, and for a better filter as well.

The sls height sensors could also be wonky, I'm seeing a few like that now, again available aftermarket reasonable price, no idea if any good, but I'd have a go if I was you, is one of the best features of the car.

I'm not aware of any air tank, there is a little plastic canister for the air dump and a filter behind the tail light, that's all I know of

It will be a long steel cylinder bolted to a chassis rail.
